Apalachee :1High School Active Shooter Now
“Apalachee High School is home to an active shooter.”
The Georgia high school shooting’s radio calls are released by the sheriff’s office.
Georgian emergency services officials have made 911 and police dispatch recordings from the horrific mass shooting at Apalachee High School last week—which claimed the lives of two instructors and two students—available to the public.
Through a Freedom of Information Act request, CNN was able to obtain emergency recordings and dispatch records from the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office.
These records and recordings show the number of people injured, conversations between dispatchers and authorities regarding an active shooter at the high school, and calls from parents worried about their children’s safety.
The circumstances that investigators claim Colt Gray, 14, shot an AR-15-style gun inside the high school are described in the audio tape and dispatch recordings killing four people in Winder, Georgia.

According to officials, the eight children and one instructor among the nine other injured parties should make a full recovery.
In one audio tape, an officer can be heard screaming, “Active shooter!” to a dispatcher, who then repeats the words back to him. With composure, another cop can be heard saying, “Correct.”
At Apalachee High School, there is an active shooter.
Another recording shows an officer telling a dispatcher to “roll EMS” after telling her a suspect is in custody while appearing a little out of breath.
She may be heard stating that paramedics were on their way to the high school.
A different tape features an agitated voice from an officer saying, “A parent is on the phone with their child.”
“They’re locked up in the art room.”
An male caller informed the dispatcher that his daughter, a school psychologist, was seeing a pupil in a trailer “next to where the shooting was happening” in a different recording.
He claims that his daughter attempted to conceal with the student behind a desk.
“I want them to know that she’s in a trailer and she can’t, you know, lock the doors and if they can check on the trailers… hopefully, they can check and get her out,” the man can be heard saying.
“I don’t know what the situation looks like – if there’s one trailer or a bunch of trailers – that helps.”
The caller answers, “Yes, and she didn’t want to call, she didn’t,” after the dispatcher confirms that the student is with the psychologist.
A call about 11:45 a.m. was received from a woman claiming to be Colt’s aunt.
She sobbed as she confided in a Barrow County 911 operator that she thought her nephew might have been a part of the Apalachee High School shooting.
The woman sobbed as she spoke to the operator, “My mom just called and said that Colt texted his mom, my sister, and his dad that he was sorry.
They called the school and told the counselor to go get him immediately.”
“And then she said, ‘I’m just worried that it was him, because I saw that there was a shooting.”
After giving the 911 operator her and her sister’s phone numbers, the lady said she would prefer that they call his mother first “because I’ve been trying” to communicate with someone.”
“I apologize; please give me a moment,” she said.
“I just have so much anxiety about what could happen.”
Marcee Gray, Colt Gray’s mother, claims that she contacted the school before the September 4 shooting started to ask the administration to see how her son was doing after he sent her a “I’m sorry, mom.”
At that point, the mother told ABC News that her son had mentioned school shootings to a school counselor.
This prompted the mother to drive 200 miles from Fitzgerald to Winder, Georgia, along with the teen’s grandfather.
Colt Gray, who is accused of confessing to the Winder high school attack, will face an adult trial on four counts of felony murder.
Alfonso Kraft Jr., his lawyer, declined to was contacted by phone on Wednesday, to comment.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Colt Gray’s father, Colin Gray, 54, has been charged with eight counts of cruelty to children, four counts of involuntary manslaughter, and two counts of second-degree murder after it was alleged by the police that he had given his son a gun.
The Barrow County district attorney has charged Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, two 14-year-olds who were killed, with second-degree murder.
Additionally slain were two educators, Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Cristina Irimie, 53.
The lawyers for Colin Gray have been contacted by CNN.
During a September 6 hearing, state Judge Currie Mingledorff stated that Colt Gray is a juvenile and hence not eligible for the death penalty if found guilty.
Colin Gray looks up to 180 years in jail should he be found guilty of all 14 accusations brought against him.
A gun was hidden in the backpack, the sheriff claims.
On the day of the shooting, an unidentified individual called Apalachee High School and warned that there will be shootings at five other campuses, Apalachee being the first, according to the authorities.
According to Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith, Colt Gray had taken the bus to school that morning, hiding the rifle in his backpack “like it was a… school project.”
Smith spoke to CNN affiliate WXIA.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation claimed on Thursday that the adolescent was permitted to leave his second period Algebra 1 classroom with his things before attempting to enter the space again.
However, the door was closed, so he proceeded to the adjacent classroom and started shooting, one of the students said.
The Barrow County Sheriff’s Office was notified of the gunfire at around 10:20 a.m., and they quickly sent two school resource officers to the high school.
A resource officer addressed the suspect, who then turned himself in and was placed under arrest, according to Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith.
Two law enforcement sources with firsthand knowledge of the inquiry claim that Colin Gray purchased the rifle purportedly used in the December 2023 shooting as a holiday gift for his son.
A law enforcement source told CNN that during a search of the Grays’ house, officials discovered materials they think the suspect authored that made reference to previous school shootings, notably the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in 2018.
Barrow County superintendent Dallas LeDuff provided an update on Friday stating that Apalachee High School will have a “gradual reopening” the week of September 23.
According to the district, the county school system will provide the final plans for reopening, and mental health care will be provided on campus.
